Officialdom: From village head to provincial party secretary

"Row!"

Zhao Liming was stunned at first.

Then he smiled and nodded.

The last time it was brought up was because I was busy with things at hand.

So I didn't have time to go back.

This time, I have to go back no matter what.

So as to avoid being gossiped about.

After all, this kind of thing is a big deal in this era.

"I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy two bottles of wine and a few pounds of meat."

Zhao Limin added with a smile.

"You! You just went home to have a meal, but you want to buy something? Don't you even look at how much you earn in a month?"

Chen Xiuzhen rolled her eyes.

Although I haven't married yet.

But because the two of them already live together.

So she was in charge of all the money and food in the family.

She knows the situation at home better than anyone else.

"It's not easy to go back to my father-in-law's house, so there's no reason to go empty-handed. It's okay, just take a little food home."

Zhao Liming knew that Chen Xiuzhen was a woman who knew how to live.

However, he brought something back this time.

Apart from having a meal with my father-in-law.

I also want to discuss my marriage with Chen Xiuzhen with my father-in-law's family.

After all, according to the timeline, Chen Xiuzhen became pregnant during this period.

We can’t let the news of Chen Xiuzhen’s pregnancy get out.

My husband hasn't made any move yet, right?

“Buy less.”

Chen Xiuzhen reminded seriously.

Seeing Chen Xiuzhen's appearance, Zhao Liming couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After tidying up a little.

After Zhao Liming got off his early shift, he and Chen Xiuzhen rode a bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town.

A total of two bottles of wine, a pack of cigarettes, two pounds of meat and a fish.

It cost a full ten dollars.

After spending these ten dollars, Chen Xiuzhen was almost crying because of the pain.

Ten dollars is a huge sum of money in this era.

Take Zhao Liming for example, his monthly salary is only 65 yuan.

Now ten dollars has been spent in one go.

How could Chen Xiuzhen not feel distressed?

Take the daily life of Zhao Liming and I in the town as an example. The total cost is less than five dollars.

Faced with Chen Xiuzhen's bad temper, Zhao Liming was a little amused.

In later generations, women are always loyal to their parents' home.

If there are any good things, they will be moved to my mother's house.

This little girl is really good. Even before she gets married, she's already thinking about her husband's family in every aspect.

Finally, with the comfort of Zhao Liming, Chen Xiuzhen calmed down a lot.

However, I have to emphasize again and again that you are not allowed to spend money indiscriminately in the future.

Zhao Liming had no choice but to raise his hands in agreement.

"Mayor Zhao is back."

"The mayor is back..."

"The mayor and Xiuzhen are back."

"Mayor..."

Zhao Liming and Chen Xiuzhen just returned to the village.

The whole village became lively.

In their eyes.

Zhao Liming is no longer just the village chief who once led everyone to prosperity.

He is also a benefactor.

The last time Guo Aiyun came to make trouble.

It was Zhao Liming who solved the feed problem.

Later we went to build a reservoir.

Zhao Liming saved the lives of the entire village.

For Zhao Liming.

They respect and appreciate it from the bottom of their hearts.

As the news of Zhao Liming's return to the village spread, every household took out their hens?

Eggs! And some local specialties, etc.

All the good things were sent over.

After all, Zhao Liming is a very busy man now and seldom returns to the village.

This time I came back with great difficulty.

No matter what, I have to thank him very much.

Faced with the villagers' kindness, Zhao Liming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

There is a saying that has been passed down since ancient times.

Officials should not take even a single needle or thread from the people.

But this time, Zhao Liming accepted it.

Because this is the kindness of the villagers.

If I don't accept it, they will only feel that I am getting further and further away from them.

Accepting it actually put their minds at ease.

I feel that I am still the same Zhao Liming from back then.

"Why did you bring something again?"

It was difficult to send the villagers away.

When Zhao Liming returned to his father-in-law's house, Chen Tieqiao frowned when he saw what Zhao Liming was holding in his hand.

Even my mother-in-law, Wang Jieying, felt a pang of pain.

I always bring something home.

This will cost at least ten dollars!

As for the two brothers-in-law, Chen Guoan and Chen Guoping had complicated expressions in their eyes.

The two of them have always been very averse to Zhao Liming.

The reason is simple: in their eyes, Zhao Liming is a cunning person.

Moreover, he cheated on his sister's feelings.

They didn't even get married, but they ended up living together, which caused a lot of discussion.

As an older brother, I naturally worry about my younger sister.

Especially last time, he said he wanted to go back to the city.

It even made them want to beat Zhao Liming up.

But during this period, they found that their brother-in-law seemed to have changed.

The changes are still very big.

"Uncle, it's just a small token of my appreciation. Xiuzhen and I haven't been home for a long time, so I'll just take this as a visit to see you two."

Zhao Limin replied with a smile.

"You..."

Chen Tieqiao knew that he could not win an argument with his capable son-in-law.

"Come on, let's go inside and eat! The food is getting cold."

Chen Tieqiao quickly called his daughter and son-in-law into the house.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and eat."

Mother-in-law Wang Jieying also pulled her daughter into the house.

"have a drink?"

Brother-in-law Chen Guoan took the initiative to pour the wine and glanced at Zhao Liming.

"Just one drink! We have to go back to town tonight."

Of course Zhao Liming did not refuse his brother-in-law's kindness.

He also knew that Chen Xiuzhen's two brothers were full of hostility towards him.

Chen Guoan didn't say anything. After pouring the wine, the family started to eat.

Although there was no mention of Zhao Liming's appointment, every sentence was full of joy and congratulations.

Make the family’s meals taste extra delicious.

Moreover, after a few drinks, the two brothers-in-law finally became closer to Zhao Liming.

At least it's not like before, when we were like enemies when we met.

Now at least there is something to be said.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Liming finally told the real purpose of his visit.

"Uncle, aunt, I came back this time not only to visit you two, but also to discuss something with you."

Zhao Liming looked at Chen Tieqiao and Wang Jieying with a smile.

"Limin, what are you talking about?"

Chen Tieqiao and his wife looked over curiously.

Not only them, but even the two brothers-in-law and Chen Xiuzhen looked over.

"It's like this. Xiuzhen and I have been together for a while, and it's time to talk about marriage. So, I want to discuss my marriage with you."

Zhao Liming simply got straight to the point.

"This……"

Zhao Liming opened his mouth.

Chen Tieqiao and his wife were both shocked.

Even the two brothers-in-law were shocked.

Only Chen Xiuzhen just lowered her head, blushed and didn't say anything.

Before, she might have run away with a red face.

But today, she didn't.

Because... she had been waiting for Zhao Liming to say this.

"Limin, uncle and aunt have no objection to you and Xiuzhen's relationship. If you two want to get married, just go get a marriage certificate! It doesn't matter whether you hold a wedding banquet or not."
